INDIA SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

INTERNATIONAL SOLAR ALLIANCE (ISA) ENTERED INTO FORCE

In view of this, India needs to build inherent adaptive capacities of

individuals, households, & communities to meet future climate change

Challenges

Therefore the Fifteenth Finance Commission Terms of Reference outlined climate change as an important aspect for consideration

INDIA AND CLIMATE CHANGE

As per the Global Climate Risk Index 2018 ,India is amongst the six most vulnerable countries in the world

PMJDY or Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana is the world’s largest financial

inclusion programme

Reinforcing India’s commitment to the national development agenda & SDGs, India presented its 1st VNR on implementation of SDGs in July,2017 in the High-Level Political Forum (HLPF)

at United Nations, New York

India’s several programmes directly contribute to the advancement of

the SDG agenda. e.g. PMJDY

The VNR or Voluntary NationalReviews report is an analysis

of progress under various initiatives in the country

National SDG indicators are set on the line of global SDG indicators endorsed by the UN Statistical Commission

Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation is developing draft to regularly

track progress of the SDG with base year as 2016

NITI Aayog will collect & document best practices

in implementation of SDGs for public use

VOLUNTARY NATIONAL REVIEWS

NATIONAL SDG INDICATORS & BASELINE

India is now embarking on a fast rural to urban

transition

The government initiated Smart CitiesMission, Swatch Bharat Mission etc to achieve SDG 11 which states: “make cities inclusive, safe, resilient & sustainable”

The expected urban population is approx 600

million by 2031

Urban Local Bodies or ULBs can bring operational efficiency & financial viability in urban projects through municipal bonds, PPPs, credit risk guarantees etc.

URBAN INDIA AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

In July 2015, SEBI allows municipal bodies to issue

municipal bonds through private placement or public issue

Challenges Ahead-(in next 20 yrs) financing About 39 lakh crore (at 2009-10 prices)for creation of urban infrastructure

Four Pillars of Urban Sustainability

CONCLUSION

Around 64% of the population (world average – 38%) lacks access to clean cooking. Consequently, it- Increases the burden on female to collect fuel wood.

Affects their health due to more exposure to indoor air pollution

Access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy is important for achieving the SDGs

To have a positive impact on girl’s education and employment

To have good health, well-being and gender equality.

To achieve economic prosperity for industry, innovation & infrastructure, sustainable cities and communities

Development of “Common Risk Mitigating Mechanism”(CRMM) for de-risking & reducing the financial cost of solar projects

They cover social, economic andenvironmental

winter due to the proximate 4 top reasons -

Crop residue, biomass burning

Vehicular emissions &redistributed road dust

Massive construction, Powerplants, industry, other

Winter temperature inversion, humidity & (absence of) wind

Phase-out old vehicles etc

Use technologies to convert agricultural waste into usable

concentrated fodder or bio-fuelsExpand & improve public busesto reduce private vehicle use

Implement congestion pricing for vehicles

Short-Term Emergency Plan (when 24-hourly PM2.5 exceeds 300-400 mg/m3):

Medium And Long-range Actions:

REMEDY SUGGESTED BY NATIONAL GREEN TRIBUNAL AND SUPREME COURT DECISIONS
